UEFA Cup Betting Preview - Semi-final 2nd Leg (May 1)
The reward of a showpiece final in Manchester is within touching distance of all four sides remaining in this year’s UEFA Cup, after the first legs of both semi-finals ended in stalemate. Zenit St.Petersburg’s goal in the 1-1 draw at Allianz Arena gives the Russians a slight advantage in the return leg against Bayern Munich, whereas Rangers and Fiorentina are perfectly balanced for the second leg in Florence after a goalless tie in Glasgow. Take the excitement to another level for the semi-final second legs, with a bet at PinnacleSports.com, offering up to 60% better UEFA Cup betting odds.
Zenit Hold the Upper Hand for Return Leg in Russia
Though Bayern Munich scored twice in the UEFA Cup semi-final first leg at home to Zenit St Petersburg, the advantage is with the Russians as one of the strikes was an own-goal by Brazilian defender, Lucio. The Bavarians wasted a number of golden opportunities in the home leg, putting them on the back foot for the game at the Petrovsky Stadium, where Zenit are a very tough side to beat. Squad number 12 isn’t worn by any player, instead being assigned to Zenit’s supporters, who represent the ‘twelfth man’.
Bayern Munich will be boosted by another victory in the Bundesliga on the weekend, which takes them within one point of the title, with four games remaining. However, striker, Miroslav Klose, missed that game with a broken nose, and there are doubts over his participation here along with goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn, and defender, Philipp Lahm. Though the Germans have excellent European pedigree, Zenit reached the 2006 UEFA Cup quarter-finals, and under experienced coach, Dick Advocaat, won the Russian Premier League in 2007. Despite their away goal advantage PinnacleSports.com price Zenit St.Petersburg underdogs in 90 minutes 1.917 (+0.5)* with Bayern Munich 2.010 (-0.5)* – 60% better UEFA Cup odds than traditional bookmakers.
Depleted Rangers Likely to Play Ugly Again in Florence
Fiorentina’s star-striker, Adrian Mutu, described Rangers’ first leg performance at Ibrox as ‘ugly’ football. The Romanian was surprised by the SPL side’s lack of ambition, but Walter Smith clearly placed a premium on taking a clean sheet to the second leg in Italy. Rangers have suffered from a punishing schedule, having already played well over 50 games, and are struggling with several injuries. David Weir is now added to the growing casualty list after Sunday’s Old Firm defeat, the second loss to Celtic within ten days. Rangers are now five points behind their city rivals in the title race, but still have three games in hand.
On the plus side for Rangers, Barry Ferguson returns for the game at the Stadio Artemio Franchi having sat out the first leg through suspension. Fiorentina drew 2-2 on Sunday, at home to Sampdoria, allowing AC Milan to close within two points on the Champions League berth they currently hold. Cesare Prandelli’s side will have to try to block that out, as their season reaches a knife-edge; La Viola could qualify for the Champions League and reach the UEFA Cup final, or face the misery of missing out on both. PinnacleSports.com price Fiorentina favourites to make the final 1.535 (0/scratch)* with Rangers 2.770 (0/scratch)*.
